The Parent & Family Association (PFA) is the first and best way for you to get involved in the University community and to stay involved with your student throughout their time at the U of A. We promote and sponsor programs and services that involve you, the families, in the University community.
The Association recognizes two levels of membership—the General Member and the Cardinal Member. By having a student at the University of Arkansas, you are automatically a General Member of PFA with benefits including the Parent Handbook, monthly Razorback Family e-Newsletters, access to the Parent hotline/email, and events like Family Weekend and Spring Family Reunion. For those of you who want more, we offer the Cardinal Membership.
Cardinal Membership in PFA includes all of the benefits mentioned above plus:
- PFA Book Scholarship opportunity for your student (awarding $18,500 for Fall 2019)
- 10% discount and early registration on Family Weekend
- 10% discount at the University Bookstore (excludes textbooks)
- $2.00 Off Lunch or Dinner at Pomfret, Brough, or Fulbright Dining Hall at the NW Quad
- “Proud Razorback Family” Car Decal
- PFA Tote Bag
- Parent ID Card
- Parent Discount Card (national hotel and car rental agencies)
- Local Fayetteville Discounts
Cardinal Membership is $62 per family, even if you have more than one student enrolled at the University of Arkansas. To register as a Cardinal Member, click here.
Top 5 Reasons to Become a PFA Cardinal Member:
- MEMBERSHIP CARD: You receive a Parent ID Card with your student’s picture and Student ID # on it, which helps with paying university bills and those days when you miss your student and just want to see their face.
- PRIORITY REGISTRATION: With a limited number of football tickets available for Family Weekend, the earlier you order your packages, the better! PFA Cardinal Members can register earlier than General Members for Family Weekend packages and receive a 10% discount on each purchase.
- SWAG: The PFA tote bag and car decals are great ways to show your Razorback pride and support for your student.
- BENEFITS FOR YOUR STUDENT: We offer book scholarships for students to be awarded during the fall semesters. For Fall 2019, $18,500 will be awarded to students.
- DISCOUNTS: Take advantage of discounts on Razorback gear at the University of Arkansas Bookstore, $2.00 off your meal in one of our campus dining halls, and national discounts on hotels and car rentals. Whether visiting your student in Fayetteville or traveling for work, you are covered!
